Subject: Thank You Chiamaka! |
Hello Chiamaka, |
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me and talk about the position of the Senior Digital Marketing Specialist with ABC Inc. yesterday. It was a pleasure to learn more about your approach to growing organic traffic. |
Our conversation made me even more excited to join ABC. What interested me in particular was how sharply your efforts are focused on the actual reader experience, not just technical SEO issues. |
I was thinking about what you said regarding your plans to expand the email subscribers base by offering free bonus content downloads in the upcoming quarter. In my current role as Content Marketing Specialist with XYZ I found that using contextual click-triggers for bonus downloads within blog posts increased the subscription rate by 35% compared to regular pop-ups. I hope that helps! |
I’m sure my experience can translate into similar success as your new Senior Digital Marketing Specialist. |
If you need any additional information from me at this point, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to hearing back from you next Friday, as discussed. |
Thanks again for your time! |
Sincerely, |

I enjoyed meeting you in person after all these emails we’ve exchanged. It was a pleasure to be interviewed yesterday. |
I already said how excited I was to join your team. I’ve achieved so much in my current position (as you’ve seen on my resume) and I know I will be a great asset to your company. |
Please, let me know as soon as you know anything about the further steps of the recruitment process. I hope to meet you again and become one of your team members soon! So excited! |
Best, Joe Fallange |
